Paul George Injury: Sixers Beat Hawks but Face Concerns
Paul George's Injury Overshadows Team Success
The Sixers beat the Atlanta Hawks 104-89 in a preseason contest, but everything was overshadowed by Paul George's knee injury. Scoring eight points before his departure, George injured his left knee after landing awkwardly, raising significant concerns ahead of the season.
Game Highlights and Performances
- Tyrese Maxey and Kelly Oubre Jr. led the team with 14 points each.
- Maxey struggled, shooting 5-of-18 from the field.
- Oubre was 4-of-12 overall and 1-of-8 from three-point range.
Eric Gordon's inclusion in the starting lineup was also noteworthy but felt less impactful in light of George's injury concerns. Analysts will certainly be watching the team's response to this injury as they prepare for the regular season.
